Minor First Martians App bug

By Portal Games on
We have encountered a small bug while working on the First Martians companion app. While setting up the Landing mission, there should be a text prompt asking you to put randomly four spare parts on the map – two in the first Ring, and two in the second Ring. Each of them represents 4 spare parts of that type. As you are able to see, those parts are visible on the visual representation of the board, while there was no text prompt. We are working on the update to fix that problem – for now, please remember to add those parts during the set-up.

An interesting thing happened and I think it deserves a short article so I can share my thoughts on the topic. I was contacted by Dave Lartigue, who started a thread at Board Game Geek about fan-created events in the First Martians. He wrote: “Is there a way to prevent the fan-created events from coming up in the app? I have only played a few times but each time one has come up, I found it to be poorly worded, poorly written (as in, it looks like it came directly from whoever submitted it with no editing), and seemingly not well balanced, mechanically or thematically.” As for the first part — the one about poorly worded, poorly written — this is totally for me, I was personally editing them and apparently, I did a terrible job. It will get fixed asap. Totally my bad. As for the second part — it is interesting. Dave states that they are not well ...

Welcome to PORTAL GAMES

We are bookworms. Movie maniacs. Story addicts. We grew up reading Tolkien, Howard, Herbert, Dick, Lem… We were watching Willow, Blade Runner, Never Ending Story, Robin Hood…

And yet, we don’t write books… we don’t make movies. We don’t make those things, because we make games. We make games that tell stories.
